The Most Underutilized Vehicles in Squad | Squad APC Guide

Little bit of real talk: The information and commentary in this video is, in my opinion, well done and has the potential to really help you all out, but I'll be the first to admit that the clips used in the video aren't up to my usual standard. I've been going through some personal struggles, of which I'm currently getting professional help for. I'm doing much better now compared to a month ago. Anyways, playing Squad has felt like a chore as of recently, but I still sincerely want to keep helping out the community. I was excited to get this guide out to you all, but after 2 weeks of trying and failing to get the perfect clips and constantly beating myself up for not completing my task, I decided it was time to compromise and move on to greener pastures. I hope you all still find the video enjoyable and helpful! I've got some new projects planned that are not only a little easier on myself, but also will be some of my most educational content to date!

YES! Drives me nuts ppl using IFV and APC like anti armor while our squad gets to enjoy a running simulator. Those vehicles are to transport troops

The loudest "YES!" i ever said in my life happened when i looked at this title. As a Squad Leader I always try to ask for an APC ride at staging... The number of "hmm no wE rE pUsHiNg" ive heard from APC crews is pathetically annoying. They forget the Personnel in Armored Personnel Carrier.

One of my favorite rounds of Invasion my SL threw us in an APC, drove circles around objective while the gunner lit every possible defensible position up, troops got out, instantly overrunning HABs and capturing the objective as other friendly squads poured in.

9:17 In reality you don't have to aim higher. The weapon system ("kongsberg") got an automatic range calculation which will elevate the machine gun automatically. I am a tank driver and gunner for the swiss army and we got the exact same gun :)

The problem of APCs not being used as APCs goes all the way back to the introduction of APCs in Squad. When they were introduced, they were the heaviest vehicles in the game and instantly took up the role of being "tanks". This bad habit has carried on to this day and you rarely find APC squads actually transporting infantry. You'll have a better chance with the helicopters because they actually enjoy transporting infantry.

Honestly it's good to see a guide on some of the most underused Vehicles within the game and with this I hope to see some more people using the APC's as APC's and not Anti-Armour on wheels, but there are some discrepancies that I noticed like the BTR-82 not overheating, it does overheat just takes alot longer to do so and with the BTR-80 being a 50, the gun that the 80 has on it is a 14.5mm and is why it's better at taking down helo's and is decent at engaging hostile light armour targets. But in overall I am very pleased to see this guide and I will hope for more in the future along the lines of how vehicles should be used to fit their intended purposes. Also I love the content please keep it up

Great guide as always & it's good to hear you're doing better. I don't particularly care for using vehicles but the next time I see no-one using them I'm definitely going to try and help transport troops. The best bit of advice I received from a stranger was honestly "why aim for perfection when good enough will do" and it's helped me so much in life. Keep on keeping on man.

About a week ago on the IB server, we had an amazing combined arms assault on the first objective in invasion. We had 2 strikers full of troops and a tank just destroy the 1st objective

Great video. I kept being reminded of my M113 driving and servicing course (yep, I'm jurassic era). So much info in it I'm going to have to watch 3 or 4 times and take notes. If you haven't had teacher training then you have a real instinct for it. Great job.

Something to always keep in mind as a vehicle drives is having a way out, and if possible communicate that escape to your gunner.

10:37 me as a total noob having destroyed two strykers with a BTR 80 mere minutes before watching this video "I see no God up here, other than me."

I'm new to actually playing squad so I appreciate this videos!! More videos of this type please :)

Glad you made these guides, I'm a noob, that been playing for 2 years and still found loads of useful tips. You earned my sub!

People forget what the last 2 letters in APC stand for

Awesome video! Too often you find players, especially newer ones, utilize this class of vehicle in the wrong manor. A lot just see a big vehicle and go slaps on roof "yeah this tank can kill anything".

According to everyone I’ve ever played with, If it isn’t a Tank or a Logi, it’s a BTR. 😂

Working WITH your team, even one other unit whether armor or infantry, is seriously the most underrated point about running armor. "Force multiplier" might just sound like some tacticool jargon, but it really works. There isn't much that annoys me more than armor pushing the objective all by themselves, when delaying only a minute or two for the rest of the team would make the assault much more effective, survivable, and able to follow-through. On a similar note, it's too common that armor prefers to swing wide on the map to flank around the enemy by themselves when sticking to the hard cover on or near the objective, surrounded and supported by friendly infantry, is a superior option. Talil is the best example of this, everybody wants to take their tank (or worse, their APC/IFV) into the open desert when there is a ton of great cover on the objectives, and if the team is smart there should be a vehicle station there as well. While you are right that often getting the drop on the enemy is the deciding factor, especially in a defensive situation superior positioning and teamwork means that even on the slim chance you are hit with a surprise, your ability to react with combined arms will usually win out.

Just found your channel! Going back and watching every video. Each one is so insightful

I totally agree. I love using apc when two are working together correctly they are deadly
